Step 1
We strive to make your first visit to our office a comfortable experience. Our receptionist will welcome you and ask you to complete our required forms. These forms will give us important information about you and your condition. The doctor will then spend some time asking specific questions about your condition to determine if chiropractic care is right for you. If so certain treatments will be discussed. If chiropractic care is not the answer we can help refer you to another doctor. As always, nothing will be done without your consent.

After discussing your condition Dr. Huffman will give you a thorough chiropractic examination. The examination will include a spinal exam, neurological exam, orthopedic exam, and a digital inclinometry scan, assessing the mobility of your spinal joints. All of the evaluaton methods are non-invasive and will be completely comfortable for you. This important information will allow the doctor to have a better understanding of your condition and how chiropractic may help you. If necessary, Dr. Huffman may take x-rays of your spine. If upon evaluation he does not feel he can accept your case, he will refer you to another provider.

If required, our equipment is state of the art for imaging. We use digital X-ray which decreases exposure for the patient, and allows us to get the very best picture quality for assessing you joints. X-ray examination allows Dr. Huffman to show you exactly how your spinal alignment is altered. This also gives us vital information as to how long your condition has been progressing, if there is permanent damage, and to what degree can we restore function to your spine.

Step 4
After all the information including exams, forms, and x-rays (if needed) are complete, Dr. Huffman will meet with you and review the findings. It is important for you to understand what your individual condition is, and what your treatment options are. If Dr. Huffman accepts your case, he will go over in detail with you what your treatment plan entails and of course, how much it will cost. We do not want there to be any surprises in your care at Mounds View Chiropractic, so before we begin care we will review with you what we expect your insurance to cover and what they do not cover.

Step 5
Every patient's treatment is different based on that patients needs. Most patients will get some relief from their very first adjustment! Chiropractic adjustments at our office are tailored to the individual. For kids and senior patients we may use the arthrostim instrument which is very gentle, yet still very effective. For many patients we use traditional "hands on" adjustments. Dr. Huffman will explain why he has chosen to adjust you with a particular method. We have a wide array of supplemental services at out our office including deep tissue massage, whole body vibration, electrical muscle stimulation, and cold laser, which may also be incorporated into your treatment depending on your individual needs.
